Ep. 16 The Murder of George Parkman and Dragons

Happy Thursday! In this episode, Danielle covers the murder of George Parkman. A crime from Boston involving the victim an affluent member of the Brahmin society and the suspect a respected Harvard professor. Parkman was found dismembered in the furnace room of a classroom at Harvard Medical College. Was it the professor, John Webster who claims he paid off his debt to Parkman or a janitor who may have committed the crime out of greed? Discover why people remain undecided on the true killer's identity. Later Sandra discusses the history of dragons, the large, serpentine, legendary creature. They have appeared in text stemming from the Middle Ages. They also seem to have a religious connection.  Danielle's Sources: https://www.boston.com/news/history/2017/11/22/a-19th-century-murder-at-harvard-medical-school https://bostonghosts.com/the-parkman-webster-murder/ https://nightlyspirits.com/8-walnut-street-in-boston/ https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/murder-dr-parkman/ https://thewestendmuseum.org/the-parkman-webster-murder-case/ Sandra's Sources: https://www.livescience.com/25559-dragons.html
